The site: at the extreme south of the Beaune appellation area, adjoining Pommard. A plot at mid-slope, gently sloping, facing east/south-east. 14 hectares, the largest plot of this cru, divided equally between red and white.
History & tradition: the name comes from the fact that this sunny enclosure housed beehives, and bees were once called “honey flies”. It is one of the very first acquired by Maurice Drouhin (the son of the founder) during the 1920s. With great determination, he managed to buy 41 different plots from 8 different owners. The Clos des Mouches is planted in red and white, in equal parts, it gives one of the mythical wines of the House.
